Station ID query

I'm in central NC.
Tonight right at 6pm eastern, I heard some old top 40 music on 930 AM, so I stopped there.
There's hardly everany music on AM around here, even DXing.

After the first song, they ID'ed [well not a full ID, more of a liner], which never happens when you're listening, as yall know.
Of course, right as they said the letters, there was some static.
I thought I heard "WKVE"
It was at least a "W" and the second letter ended with an "a" sound [A, J, K]
The last two letters ended with an "e" sound [B, C, D, E, G, P, T, V, Z].
After the liner, they played Eddie Money's "Baby Hold on to Me" then I got home.

Nothing on the AM query page looks like that.
Any ideas?????
 
I know this does not sound like the letters you explained, but this is definitely a possibility.

Again, the possible match I found is equally uneven, but in Bowling Green KY there are three classic rockers, an adult hits and an oldies station on FM. Plenty of that sort of music to go around. And a WKCT on 930 AM.

Radio-Locator lists WKCT as news-talk. And again, a station on AM which would simulcast an FM would be far more apt to use the FM brand or calls, no? But you never know.

Good luck there! But you'll eventually be able to // your unID with some data.

In reverse order .....

Late 90's it was here in NE PA, and I heard an ad for some place that sounded like 'Stroudsburg'. Whoa. If it were Stroudsburg PA I *finally* would be hearing my closest unheard -- WPMR Mt. Pocono. That facility, in my own area code, is a superdirectional insult to my DXing pride as I'm exactly co-linear with them and Carlisle's 960, whom WPMR protects during the day. And at night, WPMR's coverage map diminishes to a contour that could fit completely inside the array of its four towers.

But Lo! It was WPMR, in between format switches, simulcasting Hot-A/C sister WSBG Stroudsburg, from 93.5. Odd thing is, I've never heard WSBG on 93.5.
